Wrongful imprisonment pre-settlement funding—for victims of abuse.

About 10,000 people may go to jail yearly for a crime they didn't commit. In January 2020, the Innocence Project found over 365 DNA exonerations in the U.S. 21 were convicted to death row. Alone in 2017, over 130 people were falsely convicted of crimes while maintaining their innocence.

False imprisonment is when someone illegally takes away an innocent person's freedom, and they are wrongfully convicted without proper legal authority. Most innocent people, victims of wrongful imprisonment or false incarceration, file against the officer, police department, and municipality for damages that include but are not limited to mental distress, embarrassment, physical injuries, and racial discrimination.

The majority of evidence in these cases is discovered long after the person is in jail after the court has convicted them. The most common occurrence of wrongful arrest is government misconduct, bad lawyering, witness misidentification, and false confessions. Unfortunately, more often than not, victims of false imprisonment don't know where to go for financial help after encountering such malicious and inhumane acts from a criminal justice system of injustice.

Coming out of prison because you were wrongfully convicted is extremely difficult. Why? Because it is not easy for an exoneree to find housing alone with a dirty record. Plus, you most likely don't have the skills and education to find employment, and you don't have credit stability, so your pockets are empty.

At Baker Street Funding, we offer non-recourse wrongful imprisonment legal funding solutions to civil rights abuse victims with active litigation against the state to help them transition back into society. We are advancing settlement money because we believe you will get the justice you deserve, and your false incarceration claim is strong enough to win. Only pay back the advance after you receive compensation. Apply now to see if you qualify.

FAQs.

If your attorney is non-co-operative, no funding company will take your case. Every legal funding firm only works with attorneys who co-operate with them in order to proceed with the false arrest lawsuit advance. It is fundamental that your attorney agrees to help you get the wrongful imprisonment lawsuit funding you need. The faster your lawyer talks to the funding company, the faster you can get approved for a cash advance from your lawsuit settlement.

Every wrongful imprisonment case is unique, and only when a plaintiff has a valid claim and has retained an attorney and all case files are received from your lawyer. The client will go into the underwriting process for a wrongful imprisonment lawsuit loan and most likely get the approval as long as your attorney fully assists with our request. This is because these loans are risky to the funding companies. After all, we don’t check credit or job status, and we only get paid when the settlement is won and by your attorney, who will receive the money before you. Our advance acts as a lien of your case.

The process takes as little as 24 hours from when we receive a copy of your case documents to wiring you out funds. Again, with your attorney’s kind co-operation, new beginnings will be possible for you. If you are a victim of a wrongful conviction injustice and have been incarcerated while you were innocent, you can call us at (888) 711-3599 or apply now to see if you can get funding in the next 24 hours. Baker Street Funding is fast when it comes to helping victims of abuse.

Pre-settlement funding for wrongful conviction cases can help tremendously get back on your feet, from finding a place to live while you look for a job to maintaining the main essences of life such as food, clothing. 

Your finances are most likely dragging, and you don’t know where to start, where to live, how to live. Pre-settlement funding can help you get your finances back up; you are not alone. By allowing yourself to receive the funds you urgently need, you also allow yourself to deal with the defendant’s long settlement waiting period instead of taking a smaller settlement offer.

False arrest circumstances and damages.

Miscarriage of justice is a commonly used phrase to describe a failure of the judicial system. This normally occurs when an innocent person is wrongfully accused and prosecuted of a crime they did not commit. It can also apply to an error in the opposite direction when an individual commits a crime but is not prosecuted properly. All criminal justice systems have some type of means to overturn wrongfully convicted individuals. While possible, it is often extremely difficult to do and at best is a long and arduous practice. Sometimes it can take years or even decades for a wrongfully convicted person to see their sentence overturned, others have been sent to death row. “Miscarriage of justice” is a Type 1 error, meaning that it falsely identifies culpability. Typically the term is used to describe Type II errors as well, which involve courts or municipalities failing to find the correct party guilty. Wrongful convictions are cited in many arguments against the death penalty, especially with the rise in DNA evidence which has cleared many false convictions. The term “travesty of justice” is used when an unfair and ignored sometimes on-purpose miscarriage of justice occurs. This is when there is a deliberate or easily avoidable situation that leads to a wrongful conviction or a guilty individual not being prosecuted. These terms have important implications in today’s judicial system and normally fall to the appellate courts to correct a situation that would otherwise have a miscarriage of justice occur.

Wrongful imprisonment stats and facts.

It seems too easy to convict innocent victims of crimes when the law does not work with them. Although each case is unique, the reality is that most of these cases include a combination of some of the main issues we will mention below.

We know that most police officers are good people fighting every day to keep society balanced. Sadly, there are those officers who are so corrupt that would alter evidence, lie in front of a judge, get paid to lie, threaten witnesses or anyone that comes in their way, or even try to secretly manipulate information about the case. 

Prosecutors as we know, are people of the law with ethics. But some of the crooked prosecutors will go as far as to hide evidence, lies, or completely ignore and important documentation that can mean freedom for the innocent victim, so the innocent ends up in jail.

20 people since 1989 were sent to death row for a crime they didn’t commit. And out of the 330 people who were exonerated from DNA testing, about 25% of those interrogations were deceiving. Of course, they changed their minds after.

Many people who see acts of horrors can’t remember exactly what happened much less ID the people who were involved.

Most victims who have been accused of the most serious crimes are not in a good financial situation. The court can appoint them an attorney, but sadly, these attorneys don’t have much experience in such serious cases.

As a society, we like to believe that judges are on our side, especially when we are innocent and recurring for help. But judges do not always work the way they should, some very powerful judges, as many people believe more than ever now, could be dishonorable. If certain judges can decide outcomes for the collective majority, then an innocent victim has barely any chance to prove their innocence if sentenced under some of these ex-prosecutors who act like they are above the law. Most judges are good people. But also, judges could play a big part in the false incarceration of innocent victims. Whether it was done carelessly or intentionally, the damage for these exonerated victims is done.
